Pipe Spring National Monument is located in Mohave County, Arizona, near the Arizona-Utah border. It commemorates the diverse cultural occupation of the American Southwest, as seen in the native societies that utilized the region, from the ancestral Puebloan people to the Paiutes, and the later arrival of Euro-Americans, notably Mormon settlers, who entered the region during the mid-19th century to develop a major ranch operation at the spring. On May 31, 1923. President Warren G. Harding proclaimed the site a national monument memorializing western pioneer life. Pipe Spring National Monument encompasses 40 acres and includes three historic structures: a stone fort (HS-I), named Winsor Castle after its first occupants, Anson P. Winsor and his family, and two adjacent buildings known respectively as the East Cabin (HS-2) and the West Cabin (HS-3)' The National Park Service wishes to interpret Winsor Castle to the period of 187215, when the Winsors resided there, and the other two structures, each at least partially reconstructed, to the period of the early 1870s, when the East Cabin was occupied temporarily by the Winsor family and the West Cabin quartered construction workers building the fort and cowboys tending the herd.
